Easter is a little over a month away, which means it is time to start thinking about holiday treats! One of the easiest desserts that you can make all your own are cupcakes!
For me, these Easter Carrot Cupcakes are not only delicious, but ridiculously easy to make! They are fabulous for a brunch, school celebration or to leave for the Easter Bunny!
Easter Carrot Cupcakes
For these cupcakes, I went super easy! I used a boxed mix for the chocolate cupcakes. I went with chocolate so it gave the illusion of dirt for the carrots! I then made my best ever buttercream frosting! Keep in mind, you can also go with whatever your favourite frosting is!
I then used Wilton Colour Dye to get the green and orange frosting colours. In a small circular motion, pipe out the orange frosting to create the carrot, followed by a little piped out tip of the green.

I think that here we’d have to use a white cake mix to simulate snow! Though today it has thawed quite a lot, there’s still no sign of soil though 🙁
Anne Taylor says
These are so adorable! I also love that they aren’t piled high with frosting! Thanks for the idea!
